Review on πŸš— Enhanced Bluetooth Car Kit by Kinivo BTC450 - Hands-Free Adapter with 3.5mm Aux Input, Apt-X Technology by Travis Flores

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good option for cars without Bluetooth

I have a new Bluetooth enabled car for hands free audio streaming and phone use and I love it. I had an AUX input in my old car and found it very difficult to deal with the wired connection so I could stream music from my phone. This unit was very easy to connect using my existing aux-in and once you have bluetooth in your car for music/audio streaming you will never go back to the aux cable. I also like the hands-free function of the phone, it's very handy for answering a call when your phone is in your pocket or not at hand. I've had no trouble connecting multiple iPhones for audio streaming and only used the speakerphone once, but it works well. The only thing to think about is how to set up the device so that the cables and voice receiver/playback/disc connector (about the size of a half dollar coin) are placed in a convenient location in your car. Think about it because you've found a place for a receiver/playback/device port, a 12V cigarette lighter power port and an auxiliary input. Basically 3 connection points that may not be next to each other. So if you don't like cables hanging around the dashboard, you can route them behind an additional panel on the dashboard. How I was. See my attached photo for ideas on how the setup might work in your car.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
